Life is a celebration; one just never knows...

It is the time of year that leads to reflection. As the year closes one sits in quiet reflection...coming and goings...what filled this year? Many many things filled this year...It seems strange but I actually feel like I started the year as a young girl and emerged as a woman. Finally. I emerged from my cocoon ready to fly.

In all the trials and tribulations of this year I learned that life is a celebration. I learned to say I love you without fear, to speak with clarity and compassion, and to be gentle to myself. I learned to rest in the moment and love everything I do...even if it is hard or scary.

I close this year thinking I never thought my life would be the way it is but it seems so perfect. I close this year grateful that each new day brings the next adventure and I am walking towards each new day with my arms wide open.
